Sokonglah Deadpool : The Merc with a Mouth needs your support to blast R-rated box office records!

In 2016, Deadpool was a welcome surprise to the comic book superhero movie world. This medium-budget R-rated movie (18+ by Malaysian classification) introduced to the cinema audience the Merc with a Mouth as he was meant to be based on the comics, a fast-talking fourth wall-breaking mutant anti-hero personified by actor Ryan Reynolds.

 Although Deadpool's first appearance in cinematic history actually took place earlier in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, this interpretation also played by Reynolds much chagrined Marvel fans. However, this version of Wade Wilson with his trademark witty repartee before transforming into Weapon XI did connect with many fans.

Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009) offered fans a taste Deadpool's cinematic potential early in this film.

Alas, many Marvel fans were aghast when this version of Deadpool was revealed as Weapon XI with mouth sealed and sporting multiple mutant powers.

Even prior to this, Reynold's role as vampire-hunter Hannibal King in 2004's Blade: Trinity was heavily influenced by Deadpool from the comics, bringing dark humour to the otherwise violent action R-rated movie of its time.

Ryan Reynolds starred earlier as Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity (2004) with persona inspired from Deadpool of the comics.

According to Ryan Reynolds, these early superhero outings paved the way for Twentieth Century Fox to seriously begin developing a Deadpool solo movie from 2010. But Deadpool's cinematic journey was almost derailed by the box-office disaster of 2011's Green Lantern, also starring Ryan Reynolds in the lead role as Hal Jordan. Fox was also concerned with the potential box office limits of an R-rated superhero movie and backed off from proceeding with production. Director Tim Miller produced test footage in 2012 with Reynolds voicing Deadpool in a CGI action sequence but still did not receive the green light from the studio.

In July 2014, this test footage was mysteriously leaked online and garnered overwhelming support from Marvelites that this is the Deadpool we want in cinemas. Within 3 months, Fox green lit the movie and fans delightedly received Deadpool in February 2016. Six weeks after its cinema released, Deadpool claimed the crown for highest-grossing R-rated movie worldwide of all time.

No good box-office hit goes unnoticed by studio corporate executives and certainly in an era where almost every other movie release is a sequel or prequel. Deadpool returns this week to our cinemas in his sequel outing simply titled Deadpool 2 (Kolam Mati Dua!).

Returning of course is Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool, still looking like an old avocado. The supporting cast that survived the previous movie also return, comprising Morena Baccarin as Wade's love interest Vanessa, T.J. Miller as bartender friend Weasel, Leslie Uggams as roommate Blind Al, Karan Soni as taxi driver Dopinder, and the pair of X-Men with Stefan Kapipic as the voice of Colossus and Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead (what a mouthful!).

Morena Baccarin is back as the lovely Vanessa, her crazy matching Wade's crazy.

Karan Soni is still driving a taxi as Dopinder, but aspires to be more.

It's no secret from the numerous movie trailers that Deadpool is recruiting his X-Force, which introduces a whole slew of new characters joining this sequel movie. As hinted at the end-credits scene of the first movie, we will be seeing popular X-mutant from the future Cable, played by veteran actor Josh Brolin who is also currently starring in another Marvel movie right now as Thanos fighting the Avengers in the Infinity War. Yes, Deadpool does indeed break the fourth wall trolling that fact!

While Cable appears as the antagonist in the trailers, we do see Domino played by Zazie Beetz (Geostorm) joining X-Force, making luck look cinematic (wait and see-lah!). Members of X-Force seem include Shatterstar played by Lewis Tan (Into the Badlands, Iron Fist), Bedlam as portrayed by Terry Crews (The Expendables), Zeitgeist by Bill Skarsgård (It), and regular guy Peter by comedian Rob Delaney. Other mutants cast Julian Dennison as Russell / Firefist, which is being hunted by Cable, and Australian Japanese actress Shiori Kutsuna as an unnamed mutant girl. There will no doubt be other surprise cameos in Deadpool 2; look out for them!

FYI, Stan Lee cameo in this movie's teaser trailer last year.

Deadpool 2 opens nationwide in Malaysia on 17 May 2018, with limited sneak previews starting on 15 May.

Although the marketing campaign for Deadpool this time round does not seem as overwhelming like the first movie (not saying it was bad), these few videos featuring Canada, F-cking cancer, David Beckham and Manchester United could really only be pulled off by Ryan Reynolds the Merc with a Mouth.
